Clear Imaging, Uniform Illumination and Comfortable Operation
The AUC-243 Series comprises high-quality biological microscopes designed for teaching, routine laboratory work and basic research. Its infinity colour-corrected optical system and infinity plan achromatic objectives produce clear, sharp and comfortable images throughout the supplied magnification range.
An advanced compound-eye illumination system improves illumination uniformity and specimen contrast. It provides even background illumination across the field of view, including around the edges and when changing magnification.
The user-friendly microscope stand incorporates smooth contours, low-position focusing controls, an integrated carrying handle and convenient power-cord storage. The stable and durable construction makes the series suitable for regular use in schools, colleges, universities, laboratories and research environments.
Compound-Eye Illumination System
Uniform and Comfortable LED Illumination
The compound-eye illumination system is designed to improve contrast and provide uniform illumination across the specimen surface. Brightness remains even throughout the field of view at different magnifications, supporting clear and comfortable observation.
A conveniently positioned control provides continuous adjustment of the 3W LED illumination. Smooth adjustment helps avoid sudden changes in brightness when moving between different objective magnifications.
The LED specification includes cool colour temperatures of 4750K-5500K and warm colour temperatures of 2850K-3250K.
Available Configurations
| Model | Viewing Head | Supplied Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| AUC-243B | Binocular | PL10X/20mm eyepieces, 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X infinity plan achromatic objectives, quadruple nosepiece, rackless mechanical stage, compound-eye condenser and adjustable 3W LED illumination. |
| AUC-243T | Trinocular | PL10X/20mm eyepieces, 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X infinity plan achromatic objectives, quadruple nosepiece, rackless mechanical stage, compound-eye condenser, adjustable 3W LED illumination and trinocular imaging port. |
The AUC-243B provides binocular observation, while the AUC-243T incorporates a trinocular imaging port for use with a compatible camera and optional adapter.
